I knew this was coming last month so ordered mine for $379, installed it myself and just got a rebate check from TECO for $350. Replace 15 Y.O. heaters before they fail. It was a no-brainer. Cost me $29 and an hours time.

We are getting the TECO rebate, but you were correct about the cost - almost $ 1,000 before rebate (ouch). I hope the new owner enjoys many years of hot water.
